What do you think can happen in a zombie apocalypse? Please tell me your version of plot twists.

I'd really love to read about your 'What if' imagination. I'll give you an example, like..."What if the zombies devour each other?" Or..."What if the zombies still have their human consciousness and memories?"Or maybe something like "What if you can spread your zombie-ness by saying some certain words?" XD

ATTENTION, PLEASE..!!Hello, Guys~ EIGHT DAYS and EIGHT COPIES LEFT for the Virtual World: B A C K S T A G E Art Book Pre-order !!

I've got the information about the SHIPPING FEE, which is around USD 20-25 per 500gr for U.S and Canada. [ The book itself is USD 35].

What I'm afraid of is if the book weight + the six bonus buttons weight exceeds the 500gr limit. For your info, the book itself weighs 394 gr. As for the worst possibility, maybe I'll just send you three random buttons in case the book + six buttons weighs more than 500 gr. TTuTT Hopefully this doesn't happen, though-- I hope I can give you the complete series.

Thank you so much for you who bought and pre-ordered my first art book. It was pretty surprising that the books were sold out and I needed to re-print it for the third times. Thank you, thank you very much for the support from my parents and lil bro (who accompanied me till 2 a.m. in the printing company :'D ), and of course to you, Guys..!! I'm so happy to know that there are people out there who appreciate my works. Also, thank you for you who commissioned me-- it was my first time opening traditional commissions but your responses were waaaaay better than my expectation!

Popcon ASIA 2012 brought me such an unforgettable memory and precious experiences. I'm so glad and grateful that I could share table with the awesome artists:

Besides, I met so many dA artists and other awesome people...whose names I can't put one by one here (so sorryyy >_<), but thank you so much for coming, Guys..!!! Look forward to meeting and working with you again in the near future. Here are some pics (daaaaaang, I didn't have time to take many photographs, so these were taken by my dad and my bro when they visited our table):

Stuffs we sold -- so happy that mine were all sold out Thank youuuu... >////<

The super-awesome chrislie and Caravan KLOVN Art Book-- Also had a little chat with other Caravan artists; they're all awesomeeee....*A*

When your mom commented on your work with your dA Username.You can still see it here. looolll....

Aaand...I'm in a long vacation right now, but I don't really go out anywhere, so I wanna share with you guys how my little bro and I spent our time (beside sitting in front of the computer *sobs*).

Finally we got our room covered by wallpaper~ I like the fat cats with guitars a lot, and I wanted the killer whales (orca) wallpaper, too~ But they only had the dolphin one-- yeah, who don't love dolphins? Now we're in both the sea and the sky at the same tiiiimeee...

Found two lovely stray cats, Horny and Nero

They inspired me to draw this

My bro is like...the best bro in the world ( for me of course). He's cute, kind, caring, fun, sweet, and sometimes even maturer than me. lmaaaoo...He made me this while I was drawing for hours. :'D

Finally, we found an old ashtray that my aunt bought from Hokkaido. Those red foxes are just too cute. <3

Hnnnn.....I could tell from my poll that some of you guys are busy studying for exam, so...good luck, Guys! Well...I kinda feel lonely here, though..

Have fun for you guys who are in vacation like me!Keep rockin', be deviant.

First thing first, don't be angry because this is just a foolish-bored-high-schooler-between-these-never-ending-exams prank. You saw my newest deviation? Yes, yes, the one that VERY SIMILAR to one's work. We don't need to tell each other since she's sooooo popular, right? Her work is ZXVBNMJKHFDSSAF-ly awesome.

In fact, I'm doing an EXPERIMENT..!! And LOL, I don't predict that THESE many ppl would participate in it. //// Some ppl noted me and commented on my profile- some with reeeeally serious tone and the others seemed to be in rage-mode. O____O 'kay, probably you've received my reply like this," Oh, yes, that's why I disabled comments".Because I didn't want ppl to know that I'm doing this. And for you who commented right a few mins after I submitted it, I replied to some but I couldn't tell the same lie over and over again so I just disabled it. Please accept my apology, kay? Anyways, I also deleted the deviation because I've got THE RESULT...and because it's so-very-not-original, of course.

Yup, so move on to the experiment.....

THE PURPOSE:I have a few principles, that I always hold on to, in doing arts. They are "The Most Crucial Things in Art" (for me). Here they are in ABSOLUTE order:

1. The Meaning ImpliedSome ppl may call it as the 'concept'. For me, it's what you want to tell the viewers through your art. Your point of view, issues, opinions about a phenomenon, etc.

How long does it take to reach 1000 ?And lol..!! The result shocked me. I managed to get them all in 6 hours only. (I know, I know, it's not my original work...please keep reading, okay? )

THE METHODS:

I broke out the first rule. Yeah. There's no meaning behind that work. It's just a head-shot drawing of my OC in that godly style. Then I waited and see how long it took to reach 1000+ faves.

THE RESULT

Ohhh...the result makes me doubting about my principles. How does a meaningless work like that impressed that many ppl in such a short time? (which took me about 8 hours to make)Well...for the lame me, it took DAYS to think about the meaning implied and how to tell it to you guys in artwork form -- And a month to make the whole thing like these. |D Then it reached 1000 faves in a few days, too. I think it's an imbalance proportion. :<

Do technique and style beat the importance of the meaning in the work itself? I'll be waiting for your response, you can tell me your principles and point of view, I need somebody to talk about this okay? Until this time, I've been keeping it to myself-- nobody to talk about this IRL.

Please don't judge me wrong. I didn't do this because I'm a fave-collector or something, I just wanted to know whether I stick to the right ones or not. Art means everything to me. It helps me to communicate with more people, have more friends, and share my little mind to the world. Also, THERE'S NO OFFENSE IN THIS EXPERIMENT. I don't want to say that others' arts are blah blah blah or something. We all have our own reasons to draw, our own way to express ourselves. This is just all about the ignorant me and my principles.

This experiment was inspired by my nephew. (Yes, nephew, I'm an ancient chinese//shot) He made a similar experiment on Fb about Lady GaGa.

However, don't take this too seriously, because the result isn't completely correct. Of course the fave also depends on how attractive the work looks, even in thumbnail. If it's interesting for you, you'll click it. But if not, of course you won't, yes?

In addition, I don't want to take any advantages from this. So if you guys pushed the watch button only because of this work, you can just UN-WATCH it. It's all belong to sakimichan.

Ps 1: I didn't put my dA address in this work for the very beginning, not as I always do for my other works. (Well, if you pay attention to veeeery tiny details). This is a sign that there's something wrong you know, a siiiign...//le bricked//

Ps 2: Do you notice that I write a short-and-lame poetic sentences in the artist's comment of most of my works? Yes, because it's my reason to draw that!

Ps 3: If you want to see this 'controversial' work, go here ryuuka-nagare.tumblr.com/I want to hear about your principles, too, Guys. You rock!

AHHHH...!!!! ANYWAYYY....THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL BIRTHDAY WISHES..!!! I know it's super late, but I just want to say this. I'm so happy...thank you so much, Guys!! ;_______;

Now I just got the chance to write a journal-- because my sore throat got worse since two days ago, and now I caught a cold..with fever, so my mom told me to stay in bed. OTLUgh....maybe it's the punishment for doing this to you guys and..eating too much chips.

And..HAPPY EASTER to all of you who celebrate it~

Please check out

"...Our purpose is to make a charity art book and donate 100% of the profits to the charity, St. Jude's Children Research Hospital.

St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family's inability to pay." This year is their 50th anniversary.

We want to make an art book that will never fail to bring a smile to your face.

This art book is a celebration of life, all the aspects, and pledged to a charity hospital that has been providing fifty years of research and service to helping sick children and their families."

They invited me, too..OMG I feel so unworthy and honored at the same time! It's in A4 and consists of 112 pages. There're over 100 awesome artists all around dA who contribute in it as well~ Haha..can you find my work in it?

I miss you soooooo much..!!! I'm really sorry for not being active in dA and not submitting anything..OTLAnyway, I still got two more months before I finish my high school. That's why I'm so busy right now, making papers, essays, and studying for tryouts, exams, etc...

Now I have a little free time and I feel like writing a journal, so here I go :

As you can tell from my newest doodle's title, I already became a 9gag fan. lol. I found it really interesting and funny~ Do you guys have any suggestions of other websites similar to it? It's really good to refresh my brain. Haha..

Two weeks ago, my bro's computer exploded (?) >> (can't find the right word). The smoke filled the entire living room. Both my mom and I went sooo panic and we didn't know what to do, so we just kept screaming like retard monkeys. :'D My little bro ran away from the scene and my mom shouted, "HEY, COME BACK..!! BACKKKK...!!!" Luckily, some parts of my house were being repaired at that time, so there's a technician came down and plugged off the computer cables. We thought everything would be fine after that, but no, suddenly a huge flame came out from the CPU. Mom freaked out ,"PUT OUT THE FIRE..!! PUT IT OUT..!!" However, she didn't do anything but glaring at the fire...and so did I. I just stood there and didn't know what to do (we didn't have any fire extinguisher, O____O ). After that, the brave technician ran to the electrical fuses and turned them down. He lifted up the burning CPU and put it outside. Thanks to him, the only thing that broke down was the CPU itself. I couldn't imagine if he wasn't there back then. The next day, my dad said that the power supply had broken and that caused the CPU burnt. So, Guys, don't forget to replace your power supply with a new one every two years. >__<

Last week, my computer was moved into a separated room from my bro's. Here is my new workplace:Pretty plain, isn't it? Can't wait decorating it when the holiday comes.

Now about the school stuff...

I had a singing practical exam last week. We needed to form a group consisted of 4-6 people. One of the song suggested by my group was 'Pretty Woman'. To get a good score, we had to sing it with a little dance, gestures, and facial expressions based on the song. When we were practicing, one of the boys in my group said, "Hey, we boys gotta pretend to flirt the girls by touching their chins." The other boys looked at each other in the eyes and said : "It's pretty fine, but...do you dare to touch the..."Other boy : "Touch wh..?"After a second of silence, they looked at me, and one of them said : "Oh, I see...th- "The others continued in a low voice and smiled to each other : "The scary one..!"

And yes, I heard them for sure. I was like...wth...so I said : " If we need to do it then do it. Go ahead."The boys said : "Oh, nevermind, just change the song."Then I asked : "What song?" All of them answered "I dunno, it's up to you.."The girls in my group didn't suggest anything, they just sat down and kept complaining, "Ohh...my brain..I really, really can't think right now...this exam sucks, why do we need to do this?"

Whaaatt? We needed to change the whole song just because nobody dared to touch my chin?? And nobody wanted to think?? I couldn't stand it anymore, we're all tired and hungry, so I just said: Can't you guys just stop being some lazy asses and start practicing?? I'll decide the song."

Do wearing some studded bracelets and having a boyish haircut make them think of me as a scary girl? Does being a bit serious make me seem untouchable? LOL,I do have a bit tomboy personality, however, I'm just a normal girl, okay? Sometimes I cry when watching sad movies and I like cute animals very much. Suddenly, I realized that no boys in my class ever made fun of me since junior high. That's a good thing, isn't it? But on the other hand, sometimes it makes me feel like

I remembered something that I've read in a book, which says : "Don't worry if you are not a sweet candy, because some prefer chilies to candies." It cheered me up a little, but I gotta wait to see the prove of it, right?

Andddd.....OOHH..!! I almost forgot telling you about AKB48 Meet and Greet event..!! That's the first time I watched them that close, OMG they're so cute and prettyyyyy.... *O* Not only AKB48 , there're also Furoshiki booth. Machiko-sensei's booth, Japanese preserved flower booth, cosplay performance, etc...Some ppl also asked to take some pics of me even though I wasn't cosplaying.. TTuTT <<< felt so honored.

It was an unforgettable experience for me to join a live digital art drawing competition (Digital Artvolution 2011 ) with you~ <3This kind of this competition was held for the first time here in Indonesia, soooo...I was very excited and challenged! Haha...

The theme was given around 15 minutes before the competition started, and we gotta use that short chance for brainstorming. Luckily, the theme, "Superhero / Supervillain", enabled me to let my imagination ran wild and drew what I like.So this is my result...in 2.5 hours (It's like a speedpaint, OTL ):thumb261641984:

There're only 10 finalists chosen to compete live in the competition, and...as far as I know...most of us are from Deviantart as well. I met : , and others..( Sorry, Guys, oh curse you my poor memory... ;__; )

Andddd...special thanks to as one of the committees~ You're so nice and pwetty... OuOAlso to as the judge ( OMG he's so pro I want to work with him one day....thank you so much for appreciating my work.. >///< )
